stream OF natural gas which flows through the water
of the Cook Brewing Company continues to burn
steadily and with somewhat strength than at
first. Experts from Pittsburg will arrive tomorrow

whether the flow is likely to continue. A new feat
of the blaze is that the longer it burns the hotter
does the flame become. The light too is clearer than
it yesterday and, pressure having been put
on, il was this morning considerably larger.

Three Sheep-Herders Found Dead, the Bodies
Bearing No Marks of Violence or Injury.

ALBUQUERQUE, n NJ, May 6-Cumbers mesa,
seventy-fve miles west of this city, on the At
lantic & Pacifc railway, is rugged upland,
occupied by countless focks of sheep, which are
cared for by herders who follow their focks day
and night unseen by the owners for weeks at
stretch. On Tuesday, Cubert Gonzales, large
sheep-raiser rode over the range to inspect his
focks Reaching the at BIO P. NJ, he elm bed
to the top of high rock the country in
search of his herders. At that moment the SKY
became overcast a low, rumbling sound seemed
to approach from the southwest, and then
slight tremble shook the rock upon which
he was perched, followed Immediately by
a loud report and severe shocks which made the
rock sway and fro like ship at He
overcome by deadly sickness, which almost
caused him to fall from the rock. Recovering,
he started by the path he had bed, but
found the rock had been rent in twain, leaving
assure ten feet wide, which accounted for the
report he had heard. He managed TO regain the
ground, and, remountipg his horse rode rapidly
in search of his herders He found some of the
sheep scattered and bleating with fright, but no
herders were in sight. short distance further

bodies bore mark of violence

the fexiblity of their limbs indicating that
death had overtaken them all within the time
that Mr.. Gonzales had been on the mesa The only
plausible theory that could be formed as to the
cause of their death was that the extreme fright
caused by the terrible commissions of the ele-
ments, which he himself had witnessed, had
killed the three men at the same moment. The
press of fright and terror, sustained this theory,
and it is believed that these three men were.
perhaps, the only human victims of the great

the 5th of May they were routed in hard
fought battle, which ended Louis Napoleon s

who distinguished themselves in this engage

gram says: 'Such is Mexican democracy.
Let Americans try TO imagine Mr.. Cleveland
and his councillors going on foot in process
sion along Pennsylvania avenue from the
White House to the Capitol, about the same
distance that the Diaz Cabinet covered to-
day" The contrast with the style which
prevails at Washington under the present
regime is indeed striking. The Two Repub-
blcs, an English paper published in the City
Of Mexico, said yesterday:
1.-THE military display yesterday must have
convinced those soreheads who dream Of
olutions that the overthrow of the present
government is more easily imagined than
realized. Although the sentiment of the
country is overwhelmingly in favor of peace,
and there is no probability of revolutionary
movement the Mexican army is kept in a
high state of discipline, and was never in
better condition. General Diaz evidently be-
leves in trusting in the people and keeping
his powder dry. The days of revolu
tons have indeed passed in Mexico. The
people have concluded that peace and plenty
are more alluring than war, with all its glitter
and display, its achievements and its hard
ships, and have devoted themselves to the in
dustrial pursuits, which offer the best prospect
of comfort and tranquility. There is not
suspicious cloud visible On the horizon, and
there is not the faintest probability that the
prevailing tranquility will be disturbed.
'Still President Diaz, who has not ceased
to be soldier because he has become states
man, has made the assurance douby sure by
keeping the federal army up to such a foot
ing as would make successful revolutionary
movement impossible. even were there dan
gerous elements of discontinued people at
work. With a regularly paid, weli-fed and
disciplined army at his command, and rail
way facilities for the rapid movement of
troops the stability of President Diazs ad-
ministration would be assured, even if it did
not possess the loyal and patriotic support
of the great majority of the Mexican people,"

CLEVELAND DESIRES TO RUN AGAIN.
A Massachusetts 0fficeholder So Inferred from
Conversation with Him.

BosToN, May 6--United States District At
torney Stearns has returned from trip South.
When asked if he had talk with the President
on the way home, he said
YES about my work here and the political
situation in Massachusetts. President Cleveland
is very hopeful that Massachusetts will be
brought into the Democratic column"
.Did President Cleveland intimate that he did
not desire renomination}'
.sNo On the contrary. from all his converse
ton I inferred that ne does desire to run again,
although 1 not authorized to say SO. He
knows as well as know that he can be- renom-
mated and can beat almost any man the Repub-
lcans can nominate. unless it be a man particu-
Iarly strong with the business men of the coun-
try. Sherman, for instance. might draw a good
many votes from Cleveland"
Have the Democrats been after you to run
for Governor
NO. not particularly. wouldn't dare to run
for fear that might be elected: and l wouldn't
be Governor of the State. as feel now. for any
thing. I may change my mind. but it seems to
me that the Office of Governor of the State is
most undesirable / see no reason why the
Democrats should not nominate Andrew It
would be unjust to throw him overheard now"
.sIs there any truth in the rumor that you are
te resign your officer
None whatever I knew nothing about it
until saw it in the papers"
